Effing Details Podcast Episode #3 - Who's On Third?

🎙️ Effing Details Podcast – Episode #3: Who’s on Third


Baseball, Churros, and Ted Talks—yeah, they’ve got something in common.

Ever stopped doing something you loved because of someone else’s bullshit? Yeah, us too.

In this episode, we get real about the fear, confusion, self-doubt, and past voices that held us back—from baseball to playing guitar to standing on a stage. We talk about the moments that made us quit and what it took to find our way back.

👀 What if the world looked a little different—if we stopped believing the crap people projected onto us?
What could you build if you stopped letting old ghosts call the shots?

Tune in, get fired up, and then tell us:
What’s some shit you’ve had to overcome in business (or life) to keep going?

📩 Drop us a message. Let’s call out the BS together and keep showing up.

Effing Details Podcast - Episode 2 - Confidence? What Confidence?

Confidence? What Confidence?
Yep… that’s the question.

In Episode 2, Jill and Mark Simmons pull back the curtain on where it all began. Is building a life and business simple? Absolutely not. There are layers—messy, unpredictable, and deeply human layers.

We’ve been through it all—highs, lows, and everything in between. That’s the reality of chasing something EPIC. It’s not an overnight success story. And it’s definitely not a solo mission. One of the biggest pitfalls? Asking too many people for their opinion. Spoiler alert: not everyone is rooting for you.

Join us as we share the real, raw journey behind the hustle.
